Details

One of the blessings and curses of pregnancy is that suddenly everyone will give you advice about pregnancy, birth, and parenting, and lots of it. It can be hard to sort out evidence-based information from old wives&rsquo tales and to keep your own personal priorities clear amid the clamor of suggestions. This class will help you:

&bull Understand what happens physiologically during a healthy labor and birth

&bull Form your own personal philosophy about birth

&bull Advocate for yourself during your birth

&bull Prepare for the amazing journey of becoming a parent

You&rsquo ll leave the class with a well-practiced toolkit of strategies for labor and birth, handy reference materials, and membership in a small community of other new parents. This class is designed for pregnant women in their third trimester to attend with a partner and is appropriate regardless of whether you&rsquo re planning a hospital or home birth.

Sarah Lieberman Weisz is a second generation childbirth educator who is completing her training with CAPPA (Childbirth and Postpartum Professionals Association). An Evanston native, Sarah now lives in Lincoln Square with her husband and two toddlers.
